[Scribus] problems importing tif files

[Kai-Uwe Behrmann]

The resolution tags in the first two images is very strange. If Scribus
takes this into account, at it seems to do correctly, there is the
explanation for the behaviour.

Christoph,
please check, if You can, the settings during creation of the
first two tiffs. For the grayscale image the resolution tag means:
774/0.333333 = ~2322 Inch or ca. 6 by 13 meter physical dimension.

regards
Kai-Uwe Behrmann
